A young bank robber was sentenced to six years in prison after robbing a bank of $6,000. After the trial his gun was donated to a museum because it was an antique pistol valued at $100,000! If he had realized what he had in his hand, he probably wouldn’t have robbed that bank!

Not realizing what you’ve got is a common mistake. We desperately search for the things we need to make it in life, failing to recognize what God has already given to us. Listen to what the Bible says: “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him.”

Think of it! God has totally provided us with the resources we need. They are ours for the taking. Grasping hold of this truth can transform our lives.
